I'd appreciate any comments, constructive criticism, or intelligently snide remarks on this poem...
Safety in Poetry
Begin with metaphor -
always metaphor, lest
something real emerge,
seeping through cracks between
layers of cynical,
crusted nothings.
Add hints of form,
glimpses of rhyme and
time to distract,
to tease,
to ease focus toward
shimmering surfaces.
Sprinkle in vocabulary -
insouciantly, never
pretentiously -
spice enough to
dazzle readers'
palates.
Top finally with
perspective,
narrator and
protagonist dancing from
line to line,
till no one can pin
accidental meanings on
the shifty,
evanescent poet.

This is delightful. The perfect recipe for the shifty, evanescent poet. The end product is delicious.
